This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to remarkable advances in modern health care attributable to science, engineering, and medicine, it is now possible to cure or manage illnesses that were long deemed untreatable. At the same time, however, the United States is facing the vexing challenge of a seemingly uncontrolled rise in the cost of health care. Total medical expenditures are rapidly approaching 20 percent of the gross domestic product and are crowding out other priorities of national importance. The use of increasingly expensive prescription drugs is a significant part of this problem, making the cost of biopharmaceuticals a serious national concern with broad political implications. Especially with the highly visible and very large price increases for prescription drugs that have occurred in recent years, finding a way to make prescription medicinesâ€"and health care at largeâ€"more affordable for everyone has become a socioeconomic imperative. Affordability is a complex function of factors, including not just the prices of the drugs themselves, but also the details of an individual's insurance coverage and the number of medical conditions that an individual or family confronts. Therefore, any solution to the affordability issue will require considering all of these factors together. The current high and increasing costs of prescription drugsâ€"coupled with the broader trends in overall health care costsâ€"is unsustainable to society as a whole. Making Medicines Affordable examines patient access to affordable and effective therapies, with emphasis on drug pricing, inflation in the cost of drugs, and insurance design. This report explores structural and policy factors influencing drug pricing, drug access programs, the emerging role of comparative effectiveness assessments in payment policies, changing finances of medical practice with regard to drug costs and reimbursement, and measures to prevent drug shortages and foster continued innovation in drug development. It makes recommendations for policy actions that could address drug price trends, improve patient access to affordable and effective treatments, and encourage innovations that address significant needs in health care.

Download or read book Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.
Download or read book Development and Testing of Prescription Drug Information Leaflets to Improve Comprehension written by Harshali K. Patel and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: The Institute of Medicine reports and recently published studies indicate that mortality associated with medication errors is on the rise, mainly because of the poor understanding of drug-related information. In current practice, patients receive dense information from a combination of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandated patient package inserts, medication guides, and pharmacy’s voluntary consumer medication information sheets. Further, the prescription information leaflets are lengthy, have small fonts, unorganized and often have difficult terminology. The Risk Communication and Advisory Committee in 2009 recommended that the FDA adopt a standard single-page document to improve patient comprehension of prescription drug information. The objective of this study was to develop a patient friendly one-page prescription drug information leaflet (PILs) and empirically test impact of cognitive effort exerted and patient involvement level on information processing variables and comprehension. In summary, this study tested a comprehensive model of describing how consumers evaluate information on prescription information leaflets. Methods: One-page PILs were developed using cognitive principles and graphics to exert lower mental effort. A 3x2 repeated measures study was conducted. Each participant was exposed to 3 types of leaflets specifically, the current practice (obtained from a community pharmacy), pre-existing one page text-only and PILs. Adults (≥18 years) in a university setting evaluated the leaflets after reading a scenario to simulate high and low involvement. A pre-validated, survey instrument was then used to measure information load, information anxiety, product knowledge, attitude towards leaflet and intention to read. Data collected was coded and entered into Microsoft Excel. Reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, and MANCOVA were performed using SAS® version 9.2 at a priori significance level of 0.05. Post hoc analyses were conducted to determine which of the k means in a one-way ANOVA are significantly different. Comprehensive model testing was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. Mplus was used to test the model. Results: Response rate of 61.96% was obtained (n=360). Multivariate analysis of variance test indicated significant positive effect of leaflet type, involvement and interaction effect on all measured variables (Wilk’s lambda, p
